Now, you have the chance to experience this Historic and world-exclusive scenic flight, the Ultimate Alpine Combo, which allows you to fly in BOTH a Helicopter and a Ski Plane in one unforgettable product! You can't do anything like this anywhere else in the world.


Taking off, you will enjoy our country’s most incredible views as you soar your way up the Tasman Valley and over the breathtaking blue glacier lakes below. See the Hochstetter Icefall and the cloud-piercing Aoraki/Mt Cook before experiencing the highlight of your journey as you land on the upper snowfields of the Tasman Glacier. The aircraft will fully shut down on landing, allowing you to take in your surroundings, and giving you the perfect video and photo opportunity!

When you’re ready to depart, you’ll then switch aircraft for the ride back down the valley, using the Tasman Glacier as your runway below.

추천하는 투어

마운트쿡에 왔으면 후커밸리 트레킹과 같이 한번쯤 꼭 해봐야하는 투어라고 생각합니다. 제가 갔을땐 호주 산불로 인해 검은 재가 곳곳에 보였지만 그래도 정말 멋졌어요. 멀리서만 바라보던 마운트쿡을 밟아본다는 자체만으로도 의미 있었습니다. 특히 헬기와 경비행기로 올라가고 내려올때 보는 경치가 가장 인상깊었습니다.

만년설의 멋진 경험

경비행기로 올라가면서 멋진 빙하호수와 만년설을 경험해보았습니다. 부모님도 너무 만족했습니다. 친구 지인인들에게 추천해주고 싶은 투어였습니다.

마운트 쿡 타즈만빙하 랜딩 후기

뮬러헛을 가기에는 시간과 에너지 소비가 아쉽다면 추천합니다. 높은곳에서 바라보는 경치는 또다른 즐거움 입니다. 헬기와 경비행기를 타고 주변 산세를 밀착하여 보는 즐거움 또한 상당합니다.

Cheating

The team they are chaeaters .you buy a combo deal for helicopter and ski plane but they will only offer you only one when you reach at there site . It happened to me and my mate . My mate booked for Saturday and I booked on Sunday. They make excuse by offering us one and embarrasse us by saying you already getting a cheap deal through book me . Please be aware and confirm about the combo .

Heli & No compensation ski plane cancellation

We were emailed on the day of the ski plane cancellation. As we were on the road, no chance to get a good signal to open the email. Arriving there, we have no idea that our ski plane has been cancelled, and the crew never informed us again about it regardless if we managed to read the email or not. Upon checking the ski plane package, we were told that it was cancelled and no refund will be made as we also took the heli exp for 45 mins. But the point is the package for heli and ski plane are two different pricing. As for heli only for 45mins is 259NZD while Heli + Ski plane charged us for about 346NZD. It was really a disappointing arrangement from the operator of Inflite
